This guy needs to talk less and play more
You might want to check out Sire basses also. The Sire Marcus Miller basses are reasonably price but the quality is unbelievable.
im a beginner bass player and i wanna play metal but all i see is some jazz shit everywhere i go/:
you suck
Duosonic is better than mustang
Cut your damn nails! Ear rape
Sterling sub 4. best thing out there for the money!
This video helped me a lot – Thank you!
Sterling rays should have been on this list. I havr the ray34ca and its a banger!
Good job on the video. Pay no attention to these yahoo’s with their negativity. GB
Damn, this channel deserves way more subs.
EVERYTHING HERE IS TOTAL SHIT!

Best thing under $500 PERIOD.
don’t listen to some asswhipe who only cares about his bottom line.
I have a Squier P-Bass Affinity and a Washburn B-10 Active Bass
Do you that Beginner bass players are going to worry about active bass tone controls?
The yellow bass guitar Seem more versatile . I like the style and color also.
MIM Mustang best sounding most bang for the buck! I liked my first so much I bought another SONIC BLUE and White!
Do y’all carry Cort bass guitars?
The squire mb-4 is my favorite bass of all time and it’s great for beginners too
You use a pick to play guitar; why not use it on bass.
I’m asking for a bass for my bday gotta do my research haha
The 5th one looks like a telecaster bass.
I always recommend the MIM Fender P-Bass for a beginner. It’s not terribly expensive and sounds great. For a beginner, the simplicity of one pickup, one volume control and one tone control are all you need as you should be concentrating on finger technique and not equipment. Not to mention that it’s far more than just an entry level bass as the P-Bass is the most widely used bass guitar ever made.
im not a beginner, im a cheap bastard
Nothing anything personal the dude who demoting these basses but he can’t thump
A good comparison of features, but badly let down by the demos. I know that you state at the outset that you aren’t a bass player, but if you’re going to pick with your index finger only, at least cut the nail so that you don’t get those sudden, inconsistent changes in tone and volume. If you want the pick tone, use a pick. Consider using a compressor.
Any one of these basses would be fine for a beginner.
I’m an intermediate player and I use an ibanez GSR205 its amazing for what I play and its pretty inexpensive too they usually run into the 200/300 price range but I got mine for $175
You should have said ” the 6 great basses ” instead of the best…
no ESP B104? no Sire M3?? no Warwick The W bass???
NO STERLING SUB STINGRAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
you are stupid for not including them!!!
Why don’t you get a real bass player to demo these instruments? It’s obvious you don’t have the feel and fundamental techniques to showcase the characteristics and features of these basses.
Pretty good section of basses.
Like others have mentioned.. you’ve completely skipped over one of the best bang-for-the-buck basses you can get, for beginners and advanced players alike:
The Sterling by Music Man Sub Stingray series. At 300~320USD (depending on whether you go 4 or 5 strings) it’s really hard to beat them. I’ve been playing bass for over 11 years now and I’ve owned about 20+ basses through my time of playing, from budget Peavey basses to Warwicks to prestige series Ibanez, and the only bass I’ve found to be superior to this Sterling Music Man in terms of tone has been my old Warwick Corvette, which comparing prices.. that’s VERY impressive. But even then, the gap in tone isn’t enough to justify the damn near 1,000 dollar difference between the two, and I’ve kinda sworn to the Sterling line and used Music Mans now lol.
Someone tell me which one to get for more modern rock
I vote for Sire V7 or PJ. You can’t buy them in stores but they’re reasonably priced and great even for a seasoned pro.
6000th view! Whoop.
Seriously, I own the Fender Mustang PJ, and I’m no beginner. It’s gig worthy, sounds awesome, great for small hands/young hands/guitarists making the transition/short scale fanatics (like myself). I show up to gigs with my Fender Mustang PJ and my Hofner and I’m ready to go. I’ve used it on rockabilly, standard rock, jazz, and cover band gigs. I’d recommend the Mustang PJ to beginners and seasoned pros alike.
The Tpbias, definitely.
Any thoughts on the Marcus Miller Sire V-Series?
This is a Fender ad. Title of the vid should be 4 best Fender style basses on a budget through a Fender amp. Epiphone (besides the Tobias), Dean, LTD, Schecter, Ibanez (other than this one), Peavey, Yamaha and Washburn all have really good budget basses as well.
I must have missed something . I thought older P- Basses had a real skiny single coil.Please let me know if someone can set me strat. Thanks. Four fat strings ROCK!!!!!
You should check out the Yamaha trbx 304 it’s only 350
Rogue sx $119 I have some nice basses but I use a Rogue sx vtg series at practice because it plays good and I don’t worry too much about leaving it at the practice space.
I thought the core of a band was drums and bass! Piano ,Bass,Drums are the only thing to produce a great band! Been there, Have done that! Play until your body hurts. ROCK!!!
Man i can’t afford any of these. 🙁 is there any bass i can get for a bag of cheetos?
Does anyone have any advice on a beginner bassist learning on a fretless bass instead of a fretted? I played the cello for about 4 years and recently decided to start learning bass guitar. I tried playing a normal guitar and something about the frets just really annoyed me. I guess because I’m not used to them they just feel like they’re in the way. I plan on playing mostly funk and rock, would the fretless bass be advantageous or make it harder for me to play those music styles? Thanks in advance to anyone who responds! 🙂
Most of these basses sound super cheap
now i dont know if these basses sounds really bad or his skills sucks tones of them
a mustang for beginners??? NEVER!!! short scale is not fot beginners
